Alternative resolutions

 



So this year, instead of the usual resolutions - lose weight, exercise more, drink water, drink less alcohol etc that fail in just a few days, I've decided to make resolutions for all the lovely people in my life! 

Hubby - 2022 is the Year he wants to be more romantic. Though this is news to him. Romance is a foreign language and he has no clue. However, he does do Google! So I suggest he tries asking "Ok Google? How do I do romance?" I'm confident she can help him.

Daughter - this is easy. She just needs to remember that one day she will be me! 

Son - I know he can do full sentences so his resolution is to message with more than just fine/ok/good/I guess/no/yes. Also, he needs to be better at replying to messages in a timely manner and not wait all day!

Libby - she's already doing a fab job of staying alive but I think it's time she didn't just stare at me when she wants a treat. Libby just ask! 

The cats - only wee and poo in the litter tray if you're not outside. And stop eating from each others bowls! You have your own bowl of food for a reason (some of you are on a diet - mentioning no names) and it's all exactly the same food! 

My besties - you guys resolve to appreciate me as a great friend by ringing or messaging more often. Telling me I'm gorgeous/clever/funny is optional.

All my other family - you all love me just the way I am but you want to tell me more often. Telling me I'm gorgeous/clever/funny is not optional for you. Please resolve to do this at least monthly! 

Everyone else - you will read my blog every week without fail. 

Thank you everyone for listening to my babbles. I hope you all have a satisfactory Hogmanay and I wish you everything in 2022. Happy new year xx

Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one.

Home bird

  Ellie and I were invited to a charity ball last weekend by my work. The big boss bought the tickets which was great. A young 23 year old lad was raising money for a cancer charity - being 5 years in remission himself. It was a chance to get dressed up and have a nice meal with a few drinks. Ellie bumped into my sister in law on the dance floor though her aunt didn't recognise her. Now I'm not saying that Ellie scrubs up well but... We managed to stay until 11pm (I'm sure Ellie could have gone the distance) much to the shock of my sister in law (they got home past 2am I believe). It may not be a surprise to you guys but I realised how much of a home bird I am. I struggle to go out at all, my first reaction would always be to decline an offer. I'm sensible enough to know that never going out would be unhealthy and I always try to ignore any anxiety and just do it anyway! But it is hard for me. I don't mean going out during the day, shopping or out for coffee or lunc...

A storm

  If you're expecting a quick repartee I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. My funny bone is wearing a plaster-cast. My Eeyore cloud has turned into a storm. I've not been coping so well. My house is like a mental asylum. My daughter is doing great but my son is struggling. Even Libby came into our bedroom at 3am Wednesday morning having an anxiety attack! It was one of the alarm sensors beeping due to a low battery. She doesn't like strange noises, and I was panicked because I didn't know what was wrong with her, and obviously any strange behaviour is worrying, incase it's a step closer to her demise. I can't say too much about Isaac, as that wouldn't be fair but I can say his Asperger's is having an effect. He's dealing with a lot of changes just now - coming home to live, getting a full time job, volunteering for National Trust and about to go to a new university to do his masters! And his difficulties and struggles are so hard to watch...
